What does TENANT mean in Scrabble?
noun
legal
A person who occupies land, a building, or other property that belongs to someone else, usually under a lease and in exchange for rent.
A tenant holds the right to live in or use property without owning it, a relationship formalised through a lease or rental agreement with a landlord. The term covers everything from a family renting an apartment to a business leasing office space for years at a time, and it is central to landlord-tenant law in most countries. Tenant can also serve as a verb, meaning to occupy property in this way, though the noun use is far more common.
